High School Athletes Allegedly Assaulted
Four volleyball players from a Huntington Beach high school were allegedly assaulted Wednesday night outside a Burger King restaurant near Rolling Hills High School after a playoff match between the two schools.
Larry Doyle, athletic director at Marina High School, said four of his players were assaulted by other young people after his team’s victory over Rolling Hills. He said he did not know if the assailants were Rolling Hills students.
“The kids . . . confronted our players,” he said, “and then they left and came back with others, so it was about eight to 10 against just the four . . . nothing real serious, but it was pretty scary.”
A spokesman for the Lomita Sheriff’s Station said the incident is being investigated.
